Thanks, James, for this timely reminder that the AGW fraud, despite being shown to have no scientific basis, continues to have support from crooks like Obama and Kerry.

In our own country, it is not enough to simply repeal the carbon tax.

We need an investigation into the corruption of science which has resulted in support from our once reputable scientific bodies for this baseless fraud.

The CSIRO has come out with statements supporting fraud, and we need to know how this happened, and have the perpetrators dealt with. A Royal Commission is urgently required.

Our BOM announced that 2013 was the hottest year on record. This was an outright lie to support the fraudulent assertion that the world is warming. It stopped warming 17 years ago, and it is time for action against the liars who make false assertions on climate and on human emissions.

Leo Lane. In support of your assertion of fraud and or malpractice by BOM, the recent letter by Jennifer Marohasy to the minister details exactly the assertions you make; definitely worth a read.

Seriously?

Don't we have enough home-grown anti-AGW crew without importing a Heartland Institute advisor?

“Many climate sceptics seem to review scientific data and studies not as scientists but as attorneys, magnifying doubts and treating incomplete explanations as falsehoods rather than signs of progress towards the truth. ... The Heartland Institute and its ilk are not trying to build a theory of anything. They have set the bar much lower, and are happy muddying the waters.”

Well that is our Anthony Cox/Cohenite to a tee!

But there is a notable difference between our uber-skeptics and theirs, when you see James Rust bang on about the 'new world order' and 'sovereignty being ceded to the UN' you know we are in fringe territory. One's politics is the best indicator of how one views the evidence for global warming and James' is plain for all to see.

Now how about an article from sceptic and fellow recipient of Heartland Institute funds Dr Roy Spencer, at least he is far closer to being a climate scientist than this bloke.

Thanks, Steele, for another science deficient and factless contribution.

It underlines your support of the AGW fraud despite having no reference to science showing any measurable effect of human emissions on climate.

Liars like Kerry and Obama must be great role models for you.

What about Michael Mann, the Climategate miscreant who sued a scientist for calling him a fraud.? He is in big trouble, now that he has lost the case. So liars do not always get away with it, however practiced they may be.

Thanks, Prompete for the reference. I will look it up.

Dear Leo Lane,

Okay dear chap I stated the Heartland Institute was a lobbying organisation, that it received funding from the fossil fuel industry, that donors included the infamous Koch brothers, and that James Rust is not a climate scientist.

All facts that you chose not to dispute in any fashion.

You on the other hand stated;

“What about Michael Mann, the Climategate miscreant who sued a scientist for calling him a fraud.? He is in big trouble, now that he has lost the case.”

When exactly did Michael Mann lose his case? The last I had heard was the judge throwing out a motion from the defendants to dismiss the case with the remark; “Viewing the alleged facts in the light most favorable to plaintiff, as the court must on a motion to dismiss, a reasonable jury is likely to find the statement that Dr. Mann “molested and tortured data” was false, was published with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard of whether it was false or not, and is actionable as a matter of law irrespective of special harm.”

If you have any other evidence to put let us see it otherwise any reasonable person would see this contribution from you as the pinup poster of factless.

You really aren't very good at this are you. If you manage to stumble over a fact in the future I would be happy to address it but right now you have nothing.

On the US television program NewsHour screening afternoons on SBS, yesterday I watched the waters around Miami Beach flood the roads and overtax the existing pumping systems.No storms, no run-off, no high tides, no broken mains - just a rising sea level.Of course this has nothing to do with global warming because we all know global warming doesn't exist.Could it be that the land is sinking? The intelligence of the deniers certainly is.
